Another Bank Holiday Weekend in the UK; in fact I'm on holiday all next week. So I tried to play relaxing holiday music. But then I had to bring you news of the release of A Band Called Quinn's new album, and I had to tell you just how good Little Fish were at their gig in Pompey this week.

I last played Ivy on podcast no 41

105, 100, 91, TMIAP2, 75, 65, and 60

Little Fish - Devil's Eyes

Did I say how good they were on Thursday night? Or that they won the Indy Music Awards last month? Or that I played 2 other Little Fish Songs on podcast no 119? Two really nice people, and what energy on stage.

Boo Hewerdine - The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Moon

After the disaster (see previous post) I have re-recorded podcast 123, and since doing so I have remembered odd bits I said first time round but did not on doing it again. When I started this morning I was a bit worried about saying "play up Pompey" as I recorded this morning, but all's well: Portsmouth have won the FA Cup. The picture on the left is of the Spinnaker Tower overlooking Portsmouth Harbour. Maybe it's me that I jinxed, not Pompey.

And thank you top everyone who e-mailed me with birthday wishes. Grant Mason sent me a card with a photo of Perry. His cousin, I think. Check out It's A Frog's Life Acoustic Podcast - I played the promo between the first two songs.

The Seeded Planet - Whispering

A strong song to open with, reminds me of Peter Gabriel.

Lisa deBenedictis - Unaffected (Below OakHonour remix)

Also played in Autumn 2007. I need to find a way of making this podcast blog searchable! I found this song on Magnatune.com, on an album of remixes of Lisa's song "Below".

The Endless - Huntington

I played Lee Miller by this fantastic band in podcast 121. See the shownotes to that podcast for David and adriana's explanation, then listen to that podcast again.

I mean it, the album The Republic of Heaven is so, so good. And originally I said that the guitar sound in Huntington sort of, and very obscurely, reminds me of Waterfall by The Stone Roses. Any comment, anyone?

Stereomovers - Scarlet

The Stereomovers admit to being influenced by The Stone Roses!

Blackstrap - Repulsion and Winning Speech

Blackstrap do not admit to The Stone Roses amongst their influences, but should!

This week's soundbed music is Sadness of the Sea by Umbriel Rising. The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.

It's a bank holiday weekend in the UK and the sun is shining. So in electrical language 112 I'm trying to achieve a relaxed long weekend / holiday vibe. Let's see:

Science For Girls -
Northern Lights (featuring Boots Ottestad)
and 14 Days (featuring Bronwen Exter)

Five AM - Just Say Anything

Karmacoda - Turn

Serena Ryder -Brand New Love

The Endless - Lee Miller
Edit: this is from Adriana and david of The Endless, and explains the title:

The song is called Lee Miller because it was inspired by a photography exhibit we saw of the work of Lee Miller, a photographer from the 1930s - 1950s. She was originally this gorgeous model for artists like Man Ray and is seen in a lot of his iconic photographs. When she started doing photography herself, she became a war correspondent in WWII for Vogue magazine and published some of the most gut-wrenching, harrowing pictures of bodies in concentration camps and Nazis who'd committed suicide and the like. She photographed herself in Hitler's bathtub shortly after the Allies took Munich. I was just so struck by this woman who was so many other peoples' muse, an objectified femininity, and then when she did her own artwork it was utterly different, so dark and beautiful.

I highly recommend googling her work, it's pretty interesting.

...er, in a nutshell. That was the jumping off point for the song.

This week's soundbed music is Stillness by Kavi. The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.
